From childhood to old age

Association objectives

The association is constantly developing its services and offerings.

Over time, the number of women increased after new members joined, who committed themselves, like their predecessors, to the principles and goals of the association. With the efforts of the female element (as no male members joined the association, nor was it sponsored by businessmen or private companies), the association today includes the Sarah Daouk Center for Family and Social Services, an integrated health center, a model nursery, an early diagnosis and intervention center for people with special needs, Dar Al Karama for the elderly, a craft sewing center, vocational and cultural training centers, an auditorium, Cultural center. The association is constantly developing its services and offerings, taking into account the humanitarian situation of families, and is keen to ensure that the entire community enjoys its rights and a dignified life.

Dar Al karama

The Child and Mother welfare Association, which carries the slogan “From Childhood to Old Age”, opened Dar Al Karama on Saturday, July 5, 1985, in implementation of the association’s goals of caring for the elderly and looking after them to preserve their dignity in a family atmosphere that suits them and to provide all their needs. The Child and Mother welfare Association strives with all its might to provide a decent life, health care, a family atmosphere and healthy food for the residents of Dar Al Karama.

A specialist doctor cares for the health of the elderly and visits them twice a week and sometimes several times if necessary. The home is also supervised by two managers with a medication management specialist, with the help of a number of nurses who take shifts day and night. The association always tries to entertain the elderly, especially on holidays and Mother’s and Grandmother’s Day occasions, and is keen on morning exercise. We also cooperate with the nursery officials to fill the void with coloring, drawing and handicrafts.

Happy Hearts Nursery

The Happy Hearts Nursery was established in 1979 with the aim of accepting the child as he is as an individual within the group and working on his mental, physical, educational and social development in a correct, sound and developed manner through a balanced and integrated environment.

The Happy Hearts Nursery receives children from the age of 40 days to three and a half years throughout the year. Children from the age of 4 years to six years are also received during school holidays and vacations.

The educational program qualifies three-year-old children to pass the entrance exams to kindergarten classes in schools through scientific activities in Arabic first and then in a foreign language, French or English, according to the child's age, abilities and the parents' desire.

The nursery organizes a number of activities during the year in which other institutions and care homes participate, including: Iftar for orphaned children in the holy month of Ramadan.

Verdun Dorms

Verdun Dorms, managed by the Mother and Child Welfare Association in Beirut, Lebanon, offers a secure and welcoming living environment for students and young professionals. Located in the heart of Verdun, one of Beirut’s most vibrant and well-connected areas, the dorms provide modern amenities, comfortable accommodations, and a supportive community. Designed to ensure safety, convenience, and affordability, Verdun Dorms is an ideal choice for individuals seeking a peaceful yet dynamic place to stay while pursuing their studies or careers in the city.

A hospital serving the people of Beirut

This interest in the health sector has evolved into a hospital that has been serving the people of Beirut since 1972. The hospital has witnessed several updates in its infrastructure, equipment and medical staff. The health sector of the association now includes a laboratory, a pharmacy, a primary health care center, a radiology department and a dental clinic.

Projects for people with special needs

In line with the latest technologies and scientific progress, the association established in 2000 the Early Diagnosis and Intervention Center for Children with Special Needs. The proceeds of these projects go directly to funding the association’s deprived families within the Sarah Daouk Social Center.

Mother welfare and all of its programs

The development of society and its needs prompted the association to include maternal care in its programs. As women became more present in the workforce, the association established the model nursery. Soon after, the association introduced vocational and development centers to teach nursery workers, nurses, seamstresses, and handicrafts.
